I assume this was for Watersplash protection. Zip tied the plastic splash shield for the headlights back, seems like there'll have a little better shot of getting air straight to the inlet.

Ran another WOT test. First gear to second gear 5600 RPMs. It was just above 5000 before the mod. Might be placebo effect, but the power seems a little smoother. Sure would be nice if the MPG's also came up a bit!!!
It makes sense although i dont know a lot . I hope that its not the placebo effect cuz i'm gonna give it a go and would love a lil more power and mpgs.
